However, there could continue to be some disruption to school transport services in some localised areas. Routes will be assessed by Somerset County Council and bus operators. It is recommended parents/carers monitor www.somerset.gov.uk/badweathertransport for the most up to date information. We will also aim to keep parent/carers up to date tomorrow morning through the school transport SMS texting system. Taunton Park and Ride - Park and Ride services are expected to operate normally on Monday, but do take care if there is still any snow on the ground. Adhere to any ice warning signs that may be on site. Highways - While most main roads in our region are now passable with care, we still have lying snow and ice affecting many routes, so we’d urge people to plan ahead, drive with caution, appropriate to the conditions and ensure your vehicle is prepared. Our gritters are out from midnight on major roads across Somerset. Snow ploughs have been clearing routes throughout West Somerset and the A39 Porlock Hill is still currently closed, but further works are planned today to clear the snow. Check out @TravelSomerset on Twitter or www.travelsomerset.co.uk for gritting updates and live reports on traffic and road conditions. You can also check which roads are treated on the searchable map at www.travelsomerset.co.uk/gritting. For more road safety advice, please visit www.somersetroadsafety.org or follow Somerset Road Safety on social media. Libraries - Due to the improving weather conditions, all our Somerset libraries are expected to be open as usual from Monday. All loans which were due back on 1st, 2nd and 3rd March are extended for all libraries, so no items will be overdue for these three dates. Visit http://www.librarieswest.org.uk for renewals and to borrow free ebooks and eaudio books from rbdigital. Weather update: The Met Office states the region will have scattered showers clearing slowly through the evening. It is expected to stay cloudy overnight with the risk of a few more showers, but also some fog and low cloud developing during the early hours. Minimum temperature 3 °C. Check out https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/regional-forecasts/sw for more information. Social care: There are in the region of 2,000 people receiving care at home in the county. The County Council doesn’t provide this care buts works closely with providers to make sure they can support people when if disruptive weather comes. We have been in regular contact with providers actively checking on those who are most vulnerable and working to make sure they have the help they need. Waste/Recycling: 15 recycle sites reopened on Sunday. All 16 due to reopen 8am Monday. Updates here, facebook.com/SomersetWaste or somersetwaste.gov.uk 1 County Councillor Report | Cllr Mark Keating E: [email protected] | M:07767 203968 | T: 01460 73003 (office hours) www.markkeating.org | www.facebook.com/CllrMarkKeating Ofsted report into SCC Childrens Services: Following the recent Ofsted rating of ‘Requires Improvement to be Good’, the seven point improvement programme for children’s services is now being updated and amended to reflect the recommendations. This will clearly set out the milestones required to reach ‘Good’. Family Support Service : The decision to deliver SCC’s new Family Support Service have now been formally made. The aim is to develop integrated Family Support Services with the vital Health Visiting service (already commissioned by SCC) being brought in house next year. As a result SCC are working to ensure services are provided where they are needed when they are needed, concentrating money on frontline staff and not on buildings. Communities will also be supported by SCC to be more resilient and develop further voluntary activity. Further information can be found by contacting [email protected] Secondary School Admissions: 97.5 per cent of children have been offered a place at one of their top three secondary school preferences, a slight increase on last year’s figures of 97.17. In total 93.5 per cent received their 1st preference, an increase on last year’s figures of 92.32. Single use plastics: At the Full Council meeting in late February the County Council unanimously agreed to begin work to move towards the withdrawal of all Single Use Plastics across all of it’s sites. Separately, Somerset Waste Partnership are well placed to inform the public conversation around plastic waste. They are already engaging through social media, local media, and through the ‘Schools against Waste’ programme about the impact of plastic, particularly considering recent regulatory changes in China. Somerset Rivers Authority: Discussions have continued with Defra officials in respect of the SRA being a self-precepting body; officials of the SRA have also met with Dr Therese Coffey (Environment Minister) where the Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to introducing legislation. This is likely to be through a Private Members Bill and the next step details are expected soon. National College for Nuclear: The NCN, which opened on the 7th February is now providing a state of the art nuclear training facility, including a virtual reality environment, a reactor simulator and computer equipped training rooms, recreation and collaboration space, sports facilities and student accommodation. Bridgwater and Taunton College are the principle delivery agency, supported by their Energy Skills and Advanced Engineering centres. Libraries Consultation. The libraries consultation continues and recent community engagement events have been well attended. It is important that as many people are encouraged to engage with the consultation as possible to provide comprehensive feedback from those who maybe affected by any potential changes in the service. No decisions will be taken until the results of the consultation have been fully analysed. The consultation runs to 22nd April and further details can be found at http://somersetlibraries.co.uk/consultation/ Somerset Registration Service: Somerset Registration Service, which is used by 3000 couples per year, have launched a new website to support couples planning a wedding or civil partnership in Somerset. The website www.SomersetWeddingService.org.uk features all 115 venues currently licensed for ceremonies, as well as a supplier directory of local wedding industry professionals and a comprehensive guide to Somerset ceremonies. 2 County Councillor Report | Cllr Mark Keating E: [email protected] | M:07767 203968 | T: 01460 73003 (office hours) www.markkeating.org | www.facebook.com/CllrMarkKeating Somerset Road Safety Strategy: The consultation on road safety continues to run until 8th March and can be found at http://www.somersetconsults.org.uk/consults.ti/system/home further to updating Parish Councils in my February up at time of sending, you only hove a couple of days left now to make any comments!

  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.
